CaliGhoula

Description

Here you have average inhabitant of Vaulted Den known as dA, in other words one of many Californians, who have spent too much time in the sun near damaged nuclear power plant while reading silly books. Such harmful agents caused him to undergo mutation crippling his mind and flesh into zombie-like state. Notice he even couldn't pin his badges in proper way to the harness he's wearing.

Original Roman emperor named Caligula was indeed insane, either due to traumas he experienced in childhood or because he enjoyed drinking sour wine from lead chalices. Despite they claim to be opposing him, many spoilt brats (including those from sunny Cali) behave in suspiciously similar way to the emperor - they're insane, cruel, inhuman, bloodthirsty, demanding power and they enjoy talking in public about topics commonly considered as taboo.

Thus I picked the pun, to underline relationship between Caligula, monsters from Fallout series and Californian leftists.

- last but not least, those rarely-seen characters I draw (from "Garfield and Friends" and similar cartoons), since from what I've noticed, only few draw them here and even in the dAen of CaliGhoulas. ;)

And it is true that your army uniforms and weapons are very detailed and well documented. :D

As for the big cats, you have managed to create very unique characters,
they look very lively and they have personality and individuality,
and actually they look much better than the original ones, if I may dare to say so. ;-)

I'm mostly familiar with Polish, German and Russian/Soviet armies uniforms - as someone, who feels bounds with his homeland, I feel obliged to distinguish our troops from the former occupants. ;)

Deep research helped me in learning the differences between American, British and French uniform patterns, though I've only drawn the first sets from mentioned overalls. Which doesn't mean I'm not going to give a try in the future. :)

To be honest, only Stan and Ian are genuinely my original creations; the rest of them were borrowed from couple of TV shows and modified, some minimally (Pussycats, Kitty, Callie and Igor), some were deeply modified (Irina) to match the concepts I've developed for own comics.

Pussycats (Penny and Mona) are good examples of such modification - apart from human-like bodies, they got their personalities extended:
